the Middle East
RYE BROOK, N.Y. -- (Business Wire)
Xylem Inc. (NYSE:XYL), a leading global water technology company
dedicated to solving the world’s most challenging water issues,
announced today that it has signed a $7.3 million contract with
Bahrain’s Ministry of Works to upgrade a wastewater treatment facility
in Manama, the capital city of Bahrain. Under the contract, Xylem will
design, install and commission an expansion and upgrade of the existing
Wedeco ozone systems at the Tubli Water Pollution Control Centre
(TWPCC). As a result of the upgrade, the Tubli plant will be the largest
ozone wastewater treatment plant in the Middle East. The upgrade work
will be completed within 16 months and is due to be ready for operation
at the end of 2015.
The capacity of the new wastewater treatment facility will increase from
200,000 to 240,000 cubic meters per day. The enhanced wastewater reuse
capacity is necessary for irrigation purposes in the area and will
benefit the local agriculture and horticulture sectors in particular.
“Increased wastewater reuse capability has the potential to bring
wide-ranging benefits to communities and businesses in the Middle East,”
said Andre Dhawan, president of Xylem Europe, the Middle East, India and
Africa (EMEIA). “This is a meaningful win for Xylem in the Middle East
and a great opportunity for us to demonstrate our expertise in solving
local complex water challenges.”
The Ministry of Works is the construction arm of the government of the
Kingdom of Bahrain and provides infrastructure in accordance with the
legal frameworks set out in the National Strategic Master Plan for
Bahrain, outlook 2030.
